Wildcat Silver Corporation (TSX: WS) ("Wildcat" or "the Company")

is pleased to announce the results for 24 additional drill holes completed on the Company's Hermosa property located in Santa Cruz County, Arizona. The current drill results targeted extensions of the Manto Oxide Zone to the northeast and the Upper Silver Zone southeast of the current Hermosa resource.

The Manto Oxide Zone intercepts ranged in thickness from 5.8 to 14.0 metres with silver grades up to 152.6 g/t and the Upper Silver Zone intercepts ranged in thickness from 3.0 to 12.3 metres with silver grades up to 50.1 g/t.
